NVIDIA has launched its latest flagship GPU, the RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell”, which boasts more cores and tripled memory compared to the RTX 5090. In a pure path tracing benchmark, the new card performs almost identical to the RTX 5090, despite having more processing power.
The RTX PRO 6000 features 24,064 cores within 188 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), surpassing the RTX 5090’s 21,760 cores in 170 SMs by 10.5%. The card also leverages the full 600W TDP, a significant increase from the RTX 5090’s 575W.
This power is harnessed to deliver impressive performance figures: 4000 AI TOPS, 125 TFLOPS FP32, and 380 TFLOPS RT. Additionally, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” comes with 96 GB of GDDR7 memory, three times that of the 32 GB RTX 5090.
Benchmarks from GameTechBench reveal that the RTX PRO 6000 excels in 4K path tracing, leading by a 5% margin over the RTX 5090. However, at 1440p, the card trails behind the RTX 5090. In offline Path Tracing rendering mode, the RTX PRO 6000 sits 2% faster than the RTX 5090.
While the performance gains may not be as dramatic as expected, the upgraded specs and increased memory will undoubtedly appeal to workstation, prosumer, and AI enthusiasts. The card’s capabilities in visualization will also set new standards for realism using its AI-tuned hardware.
